Sweet Sensations

In the chocolate world, size matters: smaller is definitely better. Sure, a huge slice of cake has its appeal, but it can't compare to a selection of miniature treats that offer a wide range of flavors and textures. Plus, those tiny confections are just so cute! This time of year, they're also remarkably versatile. Packed into a pretty box for a Valentine's Day treat, arranged on a plate as an elegant chocolate dessert, or taken to the office to share with co-workers, a few little morsels add up to a whole lot of love.

Valentine’s Day’s origins are a bit blurry, but some historians trace the holiday back to Roman times. Culinarily speaking, there’s little information on what fertility-enhancing foods the Romans indulged in, though odds are good it wasn’t chocolate packaged in heart-shaped boxes.
